I am but a humble traveler, blessed beyond what I could ever ask for.

When Life Hands You Polar Vortex

Our old friend winter is back, and it looks like we are getting the same sub-zero temperatures we experienced last year.

Having originally come from a tropical country, I love winter. The first fall of a snow flake, everything covered in white — just beautiful.

It is brutally cold, but it is an opportunity to find ways to keep warm. Hug and snuggle with a loved one. Gather friends and play in the snow. Put on lots of layers and take your dog out for a walk in a park you haven’t explored before, winter views are breathtaking. Make hot chocolate and write that book you have been meaning to write, or maybe read one from the best seller list, take that much needed time for yourself.

Revel in the beauty of the winter, and in the promise of spring.
